I welcomed Catarina de Albuquerque CEO of Sanitation and Water for All to our offices; discussed the critical link between health, water & sanitation. We explored areas of mutual interest, opportunities for concrete country level actions. Sanitation & water give a rapid & visible effect on the health.

12 years ago I was in NYC to present a report to the #UNGA, but instead, I watched #HurricaneSandy hit. Here's one thing I learned that day: change happens when those with power are convinced that a certain topic is a priority: lnkd.in/gEdkzi72 #WaterAction #SDG6

Access to water does not just mean having water to drink, cook or wash. It means feeling safe at home, being able to produce food, being able to fight diseases - and much more. Let's talk about it on 13 November at "This is a Story about Water" free event 👇
